In an order, the high court dismissed five cases related to the prohibition on individuals under 21 from carrying a firearm.<\/p>\n

According to court filings, the federal government and 32 states set 21 as the minimum age for handling certain firearms.<\/p>\n

After the high court issued its decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass\u2019n v. Bruen in 2022, when the court said any gun control law had to be consistent with the nation\u2019s founding and understanding of gun rights at the time, a wave of Second Amendment litigation has swept through the courts.<\/p>\n

These five cases had asked the justices to weigh the issue and settle the split, but they declined to do so at this time.<\/p>\n
